    Because HBO wouldn't televise Calzaghe-Steiglitz.

      I know there was a huge chain of guys in the HW division that held the IBF, WBA, WBC belts after Tyson lost them to Douglas but at that point the WBO was becoming a major belts organisation.

      Haye in most peoples eyes including my own was undisputed hold 3 out of 4 belts is as good as it's going to get in this era.
      Oh yeah. This alphabet soup is most annoying. It shows how difficult it is to be really undisputed these days. The border for when you accept a new organization to be a 'major' organization isn't clear at all. I only referred to what I believe is the common standard and made a distinction between UNIFIED and UNDISPUTED.
